MANILA , Sept. 8. 6:50 : p. m. A Filipino
who has arrived here from Tariac says an
extraordinary eofwlon of the revolutionary
congress took place at Tariac August 24.
Agulnaldo presided and chono Mablnl as
prceldent of tbn supreme court and Gonzaga
as attorney general. They both represent
the moat conservative and temperate ele
ment.
Mablnl , who recently resigned the foreign
sccretaryahlp , Is the ablest man connected
with th revolution. Gonzaga was the pres
ident of the last peace commission. The
proceedings ot the congress disproved the
report that Agulnaldo had declared himself
dictator.
A decree has been Issued by the Filipinos
compelling the registration of all foreigners
In Filipino territory. The Chinese , who are
a largo faction ot the population , are con
sidered foreigners. Including those born In
the Philippine Islands. Applications must
bo made on stamped paper , which figures
largely In all the business transactions ot
the Insurrectionary government. This
seems to bo largely a scheme to tax
Chinamen.
WILL USE RAPID FIRE GUNS
Secretary Hoot Han Decided to Follow
the Advice ot General
MUCH.
WASHINGTON , Sept. 8. Some months
ago General Miles recommended the pur
chase of a number of rapid-fire guns for use
.In the Philippines. His recommendation
was an president of the Board of Ordnance
and Fortifications.
General Bufflngton , chief of ordnance , dis
approved the recommendation.
Ono reason for the visit of Secretary Root
to Sandy Hook was to see this gun tested
and decided on Its merits. Secretary Root ,
It Is said , had decided that the gun shall be
used. It Is not known how many will be
sent to the Philippines.

WASHINGTON , Sept. 8. The cabinet
meeting today was devoted almost entirely
to a discussion --t 'hn local governments
which will be established In the Philippines
on tbo cessation of hostilities. Secretary
Root has given the matter much thought
and his views as expressed at the meeting
were received with approval by all of the
mcmberx. Ho pointed out that a aysteai of
government which would be suited to the
people of Luzon would bardry do for some
ot the other Islands where the inhabitants
were far luss advanced.
A member ot tno cabinet , In speaking
of the matter , said that Secretary Root dis
played a broad statcsman hlp and a knowl
edge of the Koclal and economic conditions
of the Islands.
PfHtmaster General Smith spoke briefly
to the effect that there was an Increasing
demand In Cuba and Porto Rico for money
order facilities and a surprising growth In
the receipts of postal departments , which
I was Interpreted to mean that a rapid 1m-
' provonient In both had been made through
out the Islands.

AWAIT THE VERDICT
( Continued from First Page. )
hla guilt. Let no one blame us , therefore ,
It wo have not proved the Innocence of our
client. Tbo task was not Incumbent upon
us. It Is for tbo government commissioner
to show ho Is guilty ot the abominable crime
Imputed to him. "
M. Demango then protested against the
suggestion that It had been attempted to put
i Kstcrhnzy on trial , explaining that all the
defense desired was that the Innocence of
Dreyfus should appear , dazzling nnd com
plete , and that the court-martial should
proclaim It. Counsel was sure that the
judges ot 1804 were honest , like the present
judges , nut If the former had seen Ester-
hazy's handwriting they would have pro
nounced H dlffetcnt verdict.
Counsel then entered Into details , dealing
with the Information collected regarding the
prisoner In 1394. Ho said : "Tho only real
information Is that found In the cries from
his soul. Even before his conviction what
was his first cry ? I will not take my life ,
because I am Innocent. "
M , Dcmango dilated upon the prisoner's
Increasing protestations of Innocence and his
touching letters to his family , exclaiming :
"In them you see his soul , which
pcaks. Alone In his tomb ho communea
with himself. Ho cherishes the hope of
seeing hla Innocence acknowledged. "
Among the letters of Dreyfus read by M.
Domangc was one In which , after asserting
his Innocence and declaring ho always
served the trl-color with devotion and honor ,
the prisoner complained that ho was treated
on Devil's Island like an ordinary convict.
It concludes with the words : "I wish to
live. "
"That Is a soldier's soul , " exclaimed M.
Domango , "and It Is that man you call a
traitor. That Is the man who In your pres
ence restrains his sobs and his emotions.
Ah , gentlemen , I would rather defend guilty
men who at a clover dissemblers than an
innocent man who Is too sincere. "
Other letter.of the prisoner were road ,
all breathing the same deslro to live to see
his honor disclosed , though the writer was
broken down In health and spirit. One letter
written In 1S97 apeals to General de Bols-
deffre to lend his generous aid In securing
for the writer restoration to the liberty of
which he has been robbed.
Life fur Honor' * Suites
Writing to his brother , the prisoner said :
"While one or more scoundrels are walking
free , It would be a happy release for mo to
die , but It would be a disgrace to LuclH6
and my children. "
In this letter the writer urged his brother
to find the culprits while carefully protecting
the Interests ot the country.
"Is not that the cry of an Innocent man ? "
asked M. Demango , adding : "Yet , though
General do Bolsdeffre received the letter ho
did not forward It to Matthew Dreyfus.
"Five ministers of war. " said Demange ,
"pronounced Dreyfus guilty , while admitting
it was Impossible to produce proofs. Gen
eral do Bolsdeffre , General Gonse and Gen
eral Re-eel also affirmed their belief In hU
guilt. But they stated. Instead of proofs ,
only accumulated presumptions. "
After pointing out that the generals only
studied the case at the very moment when
public aberration had reduced the whole
question to a conflict between Dreyfus and
the army , thus making It Impossible that
the generals should not bo prejudiced , and
probabilities and presumptions seemed to
them to bo proofs. M. Dcmance said : "I
must acknowledge , however , the honesty
and honorable conduct ot the generals , who
could not have acted otherwise than they
have done. ' ' Counsel thenjpuld-an eloquent
tribute to the "honesty of purpose"- manifest
by the generals.
Dealing next with the confessions , coun
sel read the report of Captain Lebrun-
Renault of the Republican guard , who had
the prisoner In custody previous to his
degradation , and maintained that the exact
words of Dreyfus , which were now known ,
only reflected Ideas Colonel Du Paty de
Clam had previously expressed to the pris
oner , adding that although Du Paty de
Clam held to the contrary. It waa certain
Imagination hod played a much greater part
than reason In the acts of Du Paty do Clam.
It was also significant that the report drawn
up by Du Paty de Clam on the day follow
ing his Interview with Dreyfus had dis
appeared. Du Paty do Clam , counsel
pointed out , had evidently forgotten his
remarks to Dreyfus , as ho had forgotten
other facts.
GenernlH Are InconHlnteiit.
M , Demance said he was surprised at tha
attitude of General Gonso toward alleged
confessions and marveled at the fact that
Captain Lebrun-Renault , who was sent to
the Elysee palace expressly to repeat the
confessions , dd | not mention them. . It was
likewise Inexplicable that General Saussler
and General Mercler took no stops to verify
these so-called confessions , which were lost
sight of until M , Cavalgnac sprung them
on the Chamber of Deputies as the proof of
the guilt of Dreyfus. The court of cassa
tion had Justly decided that they were not
confensU ns.
Proceeding to discuss the secret dossier ,
M. Demange examined the documents ono
after tie other. He said that all Interpre
tations of the document , commencing
"Doubts proof , " were hypothetical , but they
applied much more easily to Esterhazy than
to Drey.'us. It was so with the other docu
ments. There was nothing to Indicate that
Dreyfus was concerned any more than any
one olse.
The sixth document was a letter written
by Count von Mun ter-Ledenburg , the Ger
man ambassador to Franco , from Germany
to Colonel Schwartzkoppon , the military at
tache of Germany at Paris , containing the
words : "As regards Dreyfus , we arc easy , "
M , Demanse pointed out that the Dreyfus
caeu wag the universal topic of Germany at
the time and at first the German officials
might have been uneasy , but had evidently
reassured themselves. Counsel was Indig
nant that because Count von Munster-Ledcn-
burg bad not expressly declared Dreyfus
was Innocent the prosecution bad deduced
from hU words an avowal of the guilt of
j Dreyfus.
In regard to the letters of November 2
and November 11 sent br Major Panlzzardl
to bis chief It had been alleged that they
porved Dreyfug had relations with Colonel
Schwartzkrppen , whereas , In reality Major
Panlzzardl merely denied that Dreyfus had
any rela.lons with Italy. It was Impossible
to doubt the authenticity of these facts. It
was Incredible that Colonel Schwartzkoppen
and Major Panlzzardl deceived their govern
ments. The omission of Esterhazy's name
from these letters was Intentional.
Continuing bis examinations of the secret
dossier M. Demange remarked that ho fel.
{ compelled to refer to these documents ema-
i ntlng from foreigners , as General Mercler
relied upon them to support .the guilt rf
Dreyfus. The statements of the military at
taches that they had no relations with. Droy-
fua had been confirmed by the statement of
the minister In the Reichstag , who could
1 not have been decelviil by his attache at
j Paris.
I Fr ii M onot Deceived It ) ' the Doxuli-r.
"I have finished , " said M. Demange , "my
examination ot the secret dossier. All
France knows the worthlesaness of Us con
tents. Yet It la owing to It that the coun
try has been distracted for months , and ft
has been thought that there were documents
and proofs In It which might bring France
' to blows with neighboring powers , You are
now acquainted with It. The secret dossier
has been exploded. You will pardon me the
low of time I have Imposed upon you. I
will no- * take up the circumstantial evi
dence. "
| A brief adjournment of court waa here
I
' announced and counael was warmly ap
plauded os he took his seat.
On resumption of Iho session M. Deniange
discussed thb circumstantial evidence ad
duced In 1894. Ho said the perturbation of
Dreyfus at the dictation scene had noth
ing to do with producing thoIdea , ot guilt
In the minds of those present. Colonel Du
Paty nc Clnm , M. Chcrefcrt and Mnjot
Orlbolln were convinced beforehand of hla
guilt , as a result ot evidence which they
considered unimpeachable , eo much BO that
they wished Dreyfus to blow out his brains ,
but Dreyfus declined because he waa luno.
| cent.
I M. Demango showed the liollowness of the
' Btorlc * of M. Mntthlcu Dreyfus' nttcmpts to
corrupt Colonel Sandherr , the late Lieuten
ant Colonel Henry's theatrical denunciation
ot Dreyfus ns a traitor at the court-martial
1 of 1S94 and the reports of the detectives
1 Ho pointed out how the prosecution had
advanced ns proof the alleged Btatoraonlh
I of Individuals who were not In any way
I officers , but whom they carefully abstained
from producing , especially dwelling on
' Henry's statement In 1801 , which has elnco
been admitted to bo false , that a certain
War ofllco employe Informed him that Drey
fus WES the culprit.
M. Dcmango then nhowcd the emptiness
ot the gambling and libertine charged
{ ngalrmt the prisoner , and said the simple
actions ot Dreyfus were misconstrued , even
hla legitimate deslro to obtain knowledge
1 being Imputed as a crime.
I M. DeuiniiKe'n Conclusion.
| Could a spy have maintained the haughty
demeanor Dreyfus always showed toward
bis comrades ?
As to demonstrating the falsity ot the
evidence ot M. Deauropalre's witnesses ,
Muller , Debrucll , Villon and Ccruuachl ,
counsel said the only proof left was the
bordereau. Who could have sent It ? Who
wrote It ? Complet/3 light could ouly bo
| shed on It by the production of the notes
i enumerated In the bordereau. This had
been said by General Zurllndcn himself , but
consul asked the court to remember with
reference to those notea that all General
do Loye could say was that It waa not 1m-
posslblo that Dreyfus might have possessed
them. This was all , he could say when it
was a question of high treason.
M. Demange added : "You will find this
phrase In the mouth of a witness entitled I
to your entire respect and It Is understood j
' on tbo strength ot such a statement that
Dreyfus Is to bo proved guilty. I will not ,
attempt to obtain such light on the docu
ments , but slnco theories have been pro
mulgated I will suggest one. I will seek to
show that you must put aside even the
technical value bf the bordereau and the
last effect of the prosecution. I will seek
to combat the circumstantial evidence It has
Invoked. "
At the request of M. Demango the court ,
at this juncture , adiourned until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON , Sept. S. At today's ses
sion of the Industrial commission nn ani
mated controversy occurred between Chair
man Phillips ot the commission and J. D.
Archbold of Now York , vice president of
the Standard Oil company. Mr. Archbold
was on the stand and rrplylng lo state
ments made by J. W. Leo of the United
Plpo Line and other Independent companls.
Ilcferrlng to Mr. Loo's statement that the
Standard company had made advances to
the United Plpo Line company with a view
of buying It out , Mr. Archbold said :
"Any approaches on that line have como
from the other side , " and ho proceeded to
sav that such advances had been made not
only by Leo , but by others connected with
the Independent lines , Including Mr. Phil
lips. "We have declined their offers , " ho
said , "because wo consider them Illegal , and
furthermore because of our lack of faith
In the men from whom the proposition
came , having had previous experience with
them. " In reply , Mr. Phillips , he ea.d |
he did not claim that the propositions were
"unfair or unjust , but Illegal. "
Mr. Phinips attempted to make a state
ment at this point , but was cut off by he
commission on the ground that ho could
at any time take the stand In his own be
half. This especial Incident cloaed here.
Mr. Archbold several times used the ex-
nrosslon. referring to Mr. Lee , who waa
present In the commission room , "the
statement Is false and you know It. Mr.
Llvlnnstone nt last objected to the form of
expression.
Ill-pile * < < > Lee' * CrlllelNiuK ,
Mr. Archbold was on the stand for seven
hours , closing his statement at 5 o'clock.
During his tlmo he replied not only to the
criticisms made by Mr. Lee , but also those
mftdo by Attorney General Monnett of Ohio ,
Wcatgato ot Tltusvllle and Lockwood ot
Zellanoplo ,
Ills language for the most part was vigor
ous. Ho characterized many of the state
ments made by the witnesses as untrue , and
referred to the witnesses themselves In
anything but complimentary terms. He said
that Leo and Phillips ot the commission had
both confessed that they were members of a
trust.
Among the criticisms of the Standard com
pany which he contradicted was one by Leo
referring to testimony given some years ago
by Coasatt , now president of the Pennsyl
vania railroad company , concerning rebites
to the Standard Oil company. Mr. Lee had
said that Cassatt had testified that the re
fund amounted to $10,000,000 In the years
1873-79. This statement , Archbold said , had
been generally bandied about , but he de
clared It was without foundation , character
izing It as "a lusty old He , " having Its
origin In the deduction of ono man. He
also denied that an arrangement was In ex
istence for the sale of lubricating oil to
the officers of the railroad companies to the
advantage of the officers thereof , and ho
challenged Lee to produce a scintilla of evi
dence showing such a state of affairs.
He declared that the Standard company
had neither asked nor received any dis
criminating rates from the railroad crm-
panlcs since ( he interstate commerce law
\renl" Into effect and read letters from the
officers of various trunk railroads through
out the country sustaining this statement.
Nor has the company , he said , been given
any advantage in the way of "direct tariffs ,
under billings of special despatch agree
ment. " Still the company had never been
so prosperous as since the law went Into
effect. On the other hand , If ever a prefer
ential rate was given by a railroad com
pany , It was found In the cas > e of the tariff
made by the New Jersey Central to the
United Pipe Line company.
Replying to Attorney General Monnett ,
Mr. Archbold expressed the opinion that hte
criticism and persecution came 'with bad
grace from an official of a state In which
the Standard company was spending JS.Z.IO-
000 per year In wages , and he characterized
his course as "vindictive. " Ho said the
company was determined to force Monnett
to reveal the whole truth concerning his
allegation that the company had offered him
a bribe of $400,000.
Archbold also contradicted '
Westgate's tes
timony to the effect that the Standard com
pany had used the barrels and brands of
other companies , and also his statement that
the railroad companies had underbllled the
Standard tank care. In his reply to Mr.
Lockwood , Archbold dealt at length with the
Matthews and Hlce cases , which Lockwood
had Insfanced to show , as he claimed , that
the Standard company controlled the courts.
II ! < Will AiiMvriT.
Archbold claimed In effect that these nulls
had been brought to compel purcha * e. Ho
asserted that In the nice case , nice tried to
Induce him to buy his plant at Marietta , O , ,
for $500,009 , when It was not worth $25,000 ,
and had agreed to see that prosecution In
certain cases was stopped In ease the deal
should bo made , claiming ho had sufficient
Influence to accomplish this result. Ho ex
pressed the opinion that nice was employed
ns an agitator by the enemies of the Standard
company. Mr. nice was present In the court
and It l understood will reply later.
During his testimony , Mr. Arcbbold re
ferred frequently to the growth of the oil
business In foreign countries. In Hussla
this growth was especially formidable , the
product being 160,000 barrels per day. Ho
said the Standard company had no Interest
In any of the foreign production.
The witness concluded with a direct stats-
ment In support of the Standard company.
Ho took the position In this statement that
trusts are necessary , Indeed the result of
our rapidly growing commerce. In adopting
them , wo ar but following the example of
that greatest of all commercial nations ,
England , under whosa commercl I riin-t rs
capitalization and sc"pe are prac'lcally un
limited. Any legislative ro'tr'ct ons Impose I
here would operate alone to the benefit of
foreign commercial competitors ,
itevlowlng the Standard's career he said.
"Tho early years of the petroleum Industry
were marked by a chaotic and crude con
dition In all branches of the trade , namely ,
production , manufacture , transportation and
marketing , and the average quality of the
rcflnnd products was Inferior and unsatis
factory. The advent of the Standard Oil
Company aggregation changed this entirely.
It brought to DIB business ample capital ,
and combined Into effective working shape
the best possible talent In all branches. It
Improved quality and greatly reduced coats.
It supplanted old and Inferior methods and
refineries with the newest and most progres
sive methods and most perfectly equipped
and favorably located refineries. Jt
has "boon over on the alert to engage the
bent practical and technical talent for the
development and Improvement of the busi
ness In all Its branches. It Inaugurated new
systems of transportation which not only
gave to the producer the most efficient pos
sible service at greatly reduced cost , but a
continuing cash market for his product on
a basis of the beet price obtainable In the
world's market. Further , It reached out
and occupied the markets of the world for
American petroleum , Individual effort
could not have accomplished any such task
In many times the name period , and , Indeed ,
the eltorU of the Standard Oil Company
were none too quickly made , If there had
been as prompt and energetic action on the
part of the Russian oil Industry an waa
taken by the Standard Oil Company the
Russians would have dominated many ot
the markets of the world which have been
made to Inure so largely to the benefit of
the American oil Industry. "
Ho expressed the opinion that the Stand
ard Oil Company has been of vant benefit
to the world at large , speaking generally :
"Tho outcry against corporations does not
como from the great , busy. Industrial clas
ses , but from Impractical sentiment , ns Is
the yellow journals nnd political dema
gogues , from the last named , perhaps ,
more than from nny other. It Is a veritable
attack on their thrift and prosperity. To
listen to their volco to the extent ot Im
posing restrictive legislation would mean R
frightful etcp backward In tbo commercial
development of our country. "
Ho suggests national corporations AS the
only legislation necessary
At the conclusion of Mr. Archbold' * testi
mony , Mr. Phillips said ho would sk to be
hoard tomorrow.
